ADC12H030/ADC12H032/ADC12H034/ADC12H038,
ADC12030/ADC12032/ADC12034/ADC12038
Self-Calibrating 12-Bit Plus Sign Serial I/O A/D Converters
with MUX and Sample/Hold
General Description
Some device/package combinations are obsolete and
shown for reference only.
The ADC12030, and ADC12H030 families are 12-bit plus sign
successive approximation A/D converters with serial I/O and
configurable input multiplexers. The ADC12034/ADC12H034
and ADC12038/ADC12H038 have 4 and 8 channel multiplex-
ers, respectively. The differential multiplexer outputs and A/D
inputs are available on the MUXOUT1, MUXOUT2, A/DIN1
and A/DIN2 pins. The ADC12030/ADC12H030 has a two
channel multiplexer with the multiplexer outputs and A/D in-
puts internally connected. The ADC12030 family is tested
with a 5 MHz clock, while the ADC12H030 family is tested
with an 8 MHz clock. On request, these A/Ds go through a
self calibration process that adjusts linearity, zero and full-
scale errors to less than ±1 LSB each.

– ADC12H30 family
The analog inputs can be configured to operate in various
combinations of single-ended, differential, or pseudo-differ-
ential modes. A fully differential unipolar analog input range
(0V to +5V) can be accommodated with a single +5V supply.
In the differential modes, valid outputs are obtained even
when the negative inputs are greater than the positive be-
cause of the 12-bit plus sign output data format.
